As Black History Month gets underway, I wanted to take the time to share the story of the 369th Infantry Regiment from World War I, that went on to be dubbed the Harlem Hellfighters. These men had to fight for their right to fight for their country and to avoid the menial labor tasks most segregated units were assigned upon arriving in Europe in World War I. They got their wish and faced intense combat over 191 days at the front, the most of any US regiment during the Great War.

Part I is an overview of their story and next week's Part II will focus on men in the regiment, one who was already renowned before the war, but whose wartime service exported jazz to Europe, and one who became a household name after his exploits on the battlefield.
